SPCR forum dwellers that would like to see a review of the Titan Fenrir, please make a donation to sponsor such a review.
SPCR already has the Fenrir and almost half of the money needed for a review of it, so it shouldn't be too hard to gather the other half.
If you want to know more about the Titan Fenrir, please have a look here (actually, this is the bling edition of the Fenrir, but cooling should be the same):

Couldn't you at least mention what Titan Fenrir is? I'm guessing a cpu cooler without browsing the link. Also I'd prefer to know the exact amount that is missing before blindly donating for one specific review.

In a most generous gesture, Tzupy donated the last $50 needed to reach the target amount for this review, and it's going to be posted very soon, certainly within the next few days. Much thanks to Tzupy!

I'm puzzled - with $200 you could just buy a Titan fenrir yourself, try it out, and if not happy then still have money for yet another cooler or even two. May I ask what's the point of donating that much by yourself???

Good point. I went ahead and bought the power supply mentioned in my earlier post. It cost much less than the $300 for testing here. If it's no good I can e-bay it for probably 80% of what I paid for it.

Much as I value this site's reviews, I think that this scheme can only work properly if lots of people donate small amounts each, which I'm sure was the intention.

There are a couple of things I have to clarify:
- the choice of Titan Fenrir: it has already received good reviews and it comes from an underdog, not from an established player in quiet computing.
- I would never be able to test a heatsink as thoroughly as SPCR does, and I also don't have the time to do it.
- I wanted to donate money to SPCR in a more personal manner. Frankly, about 50% of the SPCR reviews, for various reasons, are of little interest to me.
- the idea of donating for reviews is indeed of lots of people donating relatively small sums each, but even when only 50$ remained till the target, interest seemed stagnant.
- if the first review performed on this basis goes through, then I hope others will feel more inspired to contribute to SPCR in this form.

it's surprising that no one else is wiling to donate for this review. the target is only $50 away. comments?

FWIW I never saw this thread or the FAQ about donations. The closest thing to this I last saw was the blocking advertisements thread.

The only way I knew this existed at all was when I read the review today.

If I'm any indication of the typical SPCR member you'll have to add an entry to the front page linking to the donation FAQ and the forums where these threads will be.

I still haven't read the rest of the thread but I'm going to guess that a lot of people had no idea the option existed.

FWIW my normal SPCR pattern is to look for new articles on the main page then browse the bottom right section with recent posts from the forum. I almost never go to a specific forum. The most common reason for me to manually go to a specific forum is if searches show no existing thread for a new piece of hardware and I want to start the thread myself.

If the donation threads are in their own forum I may just add another SPCR bookmark to my browser.

I'm in the same boat, I just heard about this new feature when reading the review. It's an interesting idea too, I'm not aware of any other sites that let readers push reviews through like this. It's generally down to whatever manufacturers submit(as far as I can tell).
